You're very welcome - I seldom get to help as other people are usually faster than me!

Hi Farrwest!

I would certainly not regard myself as a member of that "elite group" and certainly struggle with The Spectator crossword much more often than not. The joy of it for me is actually learning something new - whether it be facts or words - each week.

Hi Novalis - Got the theme but not the answer to 20a Throw back of heartless seaman in sea (7)RE???ND. Help!
